canning blocks out all light and is airtight, so beer stays fresher longer. with IPA's freshness is especially important and so i've noticed more IPA's being canned than other styles. a 3 month old can of Sierra Nevada Torpedo would still probably taste fresher than a 3 month old bottle. lots of IPA aficionados try to get them as fresh as possible, like within a couple weeks (even days) of brewing, since the hops "fade off" with time as i see it put frequently._________________good users

Cans are also far lighter than bottles, which cuts down on shipping costs. A good beer tastes as good from a glass regardless if it was poured from a bottle or can._________________Good deals with: Numerator41, addison, deathsleep, witch sermon, xyosefx, invinCIBility (4X), Weltbrand (2X), DrkKnight, K-mart (2X), drinks, LifeDepraved

sierra nevada going to cans was fucking great. i mean yeah with IPAs you should pour it in a glass whether or not it comes from a bottle/can. anyone who doesn't know this can seriously figure it out just by taking a sip of the beer from the can/bottle and then pour it into a glass. this is something I wonder sometimes about people who don't care for any IPAs at all... did they drink it from can/bottle? prices are a bit lower on SN can stuff too sometimes. Also, love that 4 pack of 16 oz torpedo, that is a just a cube of happiness right there.

is this bullshit? i think this is bullshit.

who the hell can brew a beer in three days? even an ipa still needs at least a month from the hops being boiled in the wort before it is drinkable.

I understand the light thing, but the aluminium of the can will totally fuck up any crispness that the beer has anyway
